Linked: Crowd-Sourced Suspicion Apps Are Out of Control
I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the last couple of years. We tend to think of the “Big Tech” apps and social networks as being the problem in the digital world, but really it’s all these little places too, because, as they describe, they don’t just keep us informed of actual events in our neighborhoods, they keep us informed of every single instance of something that someone finds suspicious.
This, in turn, makes us go from living in a relatively calm neighborhood to believing we are just one or two days away from the Purge.
